Brian Bacon

Demonstrating an astonishing ability to forge the mythical from the commonplace, this songwriter's dressed up folk rock imitates no one. His latest album, "Murder of Crows", produced by Nick Bullock and recorded in Nashville is a ten-song road trip into a woodsy Midwestern Gothic storybook full of poetic character stories like something you would expect from a rock opera or modern musical. Its intricate arrangements of vocals, synths, guitars, strings and horns summon 70s pop/rock music vibes that Brian has mixed with top-notch lyrics and a more modern sound. This is an album that is multifaceted in its originality: it could satisfy the most demanding music lovers and be accessible to everyone at the same time. A complete album in the classic sense.
